A 35-40cc gas engine would NOT be a good choice for the .60-1.20 sized P-47. BalsaDuster must be thinking about the giant-scale P-47, not the one that runs fine on a 0.75ci glow engine.

The MVVS 1.6 is an interesting option, cheaper too. However, with its stock muffler and carb, it is heavier than the RCS and will NOT out-perform it. 8,200rpm's on a 16x8APC, tuned down to 8,000 to avoid overheating? The RCS will do >8,800rpm straight out of the box.

With a much better muffler or a tuned-pipe setup, the MVVS kicks the RCS's rear (even more so with a modified carb that voids your warranty). As it should... being a bigger engine and all. A great thing on a 1/4-scale aerobatic ship... but on a 1/8th-scale warbird? The RCS is already way more power than the P-47 needs. Also, if you live in the USA and buy your MVVS from overseas, guess where you have to send it for repairs or to get parts? Morris Hobbies, the USA importer, doesn't list the 1.6... I wonder why? I sure would like to play with one (I love my MVVS GRRT)!

In any event... either would be better than cleaning glow-puke off your plane! (just my opinion, of course...)
